Thing 6 Ning is the Thing

WOW!!! I think Ning is great. I am looking forward to joining Nings and finding out what my peers are thinking and doing in their classrooms. I feel like the world of education in particular ESL is blossoming beneath my fingertips.

Thing 12 It's sooo delicious!

I love having a way to organize bookmarks and it's easy. It will be a great timesaver. I haven't used it very much, but I plan to; so I can find out what other teachers are doing. The biggest advantage to tagging in delicious is that I gain access to information that has already been found. I won't have to spend a lot of time researching and searching topics I am interested in learning about. I can use these tags as quick resources and ideas for lesson plans or ideas.

Starting Here PBL

I have not been exposed to PBL until now. I looked up the definition, so I think I have the gist of what it is. I think it will be motivational to the student,becausef it will give them control of what they are learning and that learning will be relevant to them. I hope I have many oppurtunities to collaborate with teachers who are using PBL.
